Save a lot on your grocery bill with Save-A-Lot
By Stacy Glick
Open since January of 1996, the Save-A-Lot grocery
store, in the Greenbrier Valley Mall, offers groceries at a discounted
price. "This is a non-conventional grocery. It gives the area a
different choice." commented Truman Shrewsberry, manager of the
Lewisburg store.
Shrewsberry has worked in the retail grocery business
for 28 years, ten of which have been spent as Save-A-Lot. Owned by John
Fitzwater and Don Tate of Fast Check, in Charleston, WV, Save-A-Lot was
opened to give Greenbrier Valley grocery customers a different kind of
store.
Save-A-Lot can offer customers discount prices for a
variety of reasons. They handle private label brands, including
Save-A-Lot milk and Wilwood Vegetables. Buying in bulk, and saving on
labor costs by leaving the product in boxes, also helps to provide a
cheaper shopping experience. By being open a limited number of hours,
Save-A-Lot avoids paying to keep the store open when customers are not
shopping as heavily. Though designed initially for customers with an
annual income of $25,000 or lower, Save-A-Lot provides quality products
at low prices for customers from all income levels. Experience the
feeling of a lower grocery bill for yourself Monday through Saturday 9
a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. For additional
information, call 645-7994.

Welcome to Greenbrier Chiropractic Center
Created by Dr. Timothy Pence and Elizabeth Destiny in
1996, Greenbrier Chiropractic Center has grown to become a
well-established family health care center serving the Greenbrier
Valley.
Dr. Pence provides traditional chiropractic care
rooted in its vitalistic philosophy, "Our primary purpose as
chiropractors is to remove or reduce the interference to healing that
occurs when spinal and related structures are displaced or become
dysfunctional."
Dr. Pence was born and raised in the Greenbrier
Valley and received his undergraduate degree in biology at Marshall
University. He graduated Magna Cum Laude from Life University near
Atlanta, Georgia, with a dual degree in Doctor of Chiropractic and a
Bachelors of Science in Nutrition. Additionally, he has obtained
certification in physiological therapeutics and clinical acupuncture.
"After sixteen years of practicing chiropractic,
I’ve definitely learned that you cannot serve the public well without
a top-notched team." A caring staff is most important.
"Patients don’t care how much you know until they know how much
you care." Team members include the front desk receptionist and
insurance specialist Peggy Orndorff. The chiropractic assistant/office
integrator is Diane O’Dell. Part time help provided by mother Margery
Pence completes this well selected staff.
Although health care is a serious business, there is
an atmosphere of joy and fun in the practice. "Laughter is
commonplace in our clinic and has a powerful, therapeutic value",
says Dr. Pence.
Services at Greenbrier Chiropractic Center include
specific, low force instrument adjustments as well as traditional spinal
manipulation. Physiotherapy including neuromuscular techniques,
therapeutic exercise, rehabilitation, low level laser, auriculotherapy,
and electric stimulation are also utilized. Additionally, acupuncture
and nutritional counseling are available as well as nutritional and
orthotic products.
The goal at Greenbrier Chiropractic Center is to
assist individuals and their families in their own health related goals,
whether that is pain relief, restoring function, maintaining wellness,
or reaching their full health potentials.
Greenbrier Chiropractic Center is conveniently
located just 3 minutes from I-64 on Rt. 219 North of Lewisburg.
